Chords for Hugh Moffat & Gail Davies - Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You

_ This next song has a little history to it.
Peebee [N] Siebert and I wrote it back in the winter of
1977 and our friend Joe Sun fell in love with it recorded it and became a top ten record for him
Then a couple of years later Dolly Parton heard it recorded it and it was a number one record
So it's been a hit for a man and for a woman now.
The song was originally intended to be a duet and
_ Tonight we're gonna do it that way and help me out on this
_ Have my good friend and a great artist Gail Davies _ _
